Zebulon the Bison has arrived in Petersburg!

Here are a few photos of Pike County's newest resident. Zebulon the Bison, named after Zebulon Pike, is one of Indiana's Bicentennial Bison. Through United Way, each county was available to sponsor a bison for their community. Local artists could paint the bison and have them on display in celebration of the Bicentennial year for Indiana. Zeb the Bison arrived tonight from his previous home in Nebraska. He will be on display for about a week before heading off to be clear coated and then out to Pike Central for his new artsy coat. Be on the lookout for Zeb!
